With the home team having higher Gradings in 4 of the strings, the match was always going to be in their favour. This turned out to be the case with a Home win.

On paper, the number 5 string should have been the closest, with only 65 ranking points separating the two players before the match.
Home advantage prevailed though, with Duncan Davidson winning through.

It was the number 1 String which turned out to be the most competitive, with the Players battling out over a total of 125 Points ! Victory finally going to the Home Player, Adam Donoghue.

If the Away No. 2 player, Simon Asher, had not had to withdraw after 2 game(s) the result could have been closer.
